from defects in materials and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA staridards for the first two years of engine use from the date of sale
to the ultimate purchaser. HOMELITE® must warrant the emission control system on your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine for the period of time listed
above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, the catalytic converter. Also included may
be hoses, bolts, and connectors and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, HOMELITE® will repair your utility/lawn/garden equipment engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis (if the
diagnostic work is performed at an authorized dealer), parts, and labor.
